Garden stepping stones are a popular material with which to build paths through the yard, and I'll explain why below. But first, let me point out that the phrase, "garden stepping stones" doesn't refer exclusively to slabs of natural rock. Why are garden stepping stones such a popular material for building paths? To answer this question, let's first look at some of the characteristics of garden stepping stones.

Garden stepping stones are easy to make. If you can mix concrete, then you can make garden stepping stones. When you make garden stepping stones, you (and the kids) can exercise creativity, ranging from the use of stains to the assembling of mosaics. You can thus add a decorative element to your yard by using homemade garden stepping stones. Natural rock affords less opportunity for creativity but can be just as aesthetically pleasing.

Stepping stones are a great way to dress up your garden, but can be quite pricey. So why not spend a crafty afternoon making your own garden stepping stones? It's super fun and super easy to make - and makes for a great activity for the whole family! There are many different types of garden stepping stones, from butterfly and dragonfly shapes to mosaic stained glass and hand-painted scenes. Whether you want to add them to your garden or accent a walkway in your backyard, stepping stones make cool landscape accessories. They also make great gifts - although they may be a little heavy to wrap!

Now here's the fun part - before the cement hardens, make hand and footprints, stick on shells and glass beads or use cookie cutters to make cool shapes. You can use anything lying around your room to jazz up your stepping stones. If you're more of a painter, then wait for the cement to completely dry before you paint up a storm!
